Following is the list Of the twelve
highest freshets Of which there is SCI
entifc record, arranged according to
their heights
Date. Height Above Low Rankss

Tlom this it appears that ofthe twelve
highest freshels recorded on the river,
six Of them occurred during the past
year, withlnnine months OF each other
As soon therefore as any funds be-
came available from the recent appro-
priation a careful survey was made
over all that portion Of the river upon
which any improvement had been at
tempted as far as Swan Point in order
TO SEQ how we'll the channels made
artificislly would stand such extraor-
binary freshet action.
At Swan Point and UarrisOn's bar
the distance from the area Of freshes
disturbance was so great that no change
had been anticipated, but it was very
g,atify ing to find the bars in such good
condition. Especially was this true OF
uar1ison's bar. The channel was
dlcdged here in 1879, aud for seyon
years nothing whatsoever was done for
il. vet The recent survey showed that
there had been no dimilu!ion Of depth
during this period.
AT CuIrs Neck, Varina. and Kings
land there was shoallng ct each plaza
Of only two feet. and thar for a shOr
distance, and as the material deposited
was Of the softest kind it can be roaii'
" removed. An estima-ea s1st Of
$l2.5O0 is sufficient to re ore a.
these channels TO their condition be
the freshets. From the city limits to
DIewry's Bluff the available draft was
not altered at all. A short dredged
channel at Randolph flats filled up
somewhat, the aides of the channel
having slipped in, but this did not
affect nayigable depth, and the steam
ers continued to make their regular
trips without any interruption.
This condition of things compared
with the river after the freshet of 1870,
when its navigation was almost
stopped by the great shoals then
formed, demonstrates more clearly than
anything else the practical results that
have been obtained. For if q series of
six Of the highest freshets ever known
could only ipjdre the dredge.channels
to an amount Of 81, 500, the amount
hereafter to be expended in maintain
ing the nayigable way will DO a mere
nothing compared to the amounts ne
cessary to keep other great highways
in order. With the exception Of throo
short shoals, which could be imme-
diately gotten lid of were it jndiciOos
to use temporary devices, there exists a
cbanrel eighteen feet deep at high tide
from the city to the sea. The ayaila-
bic draft is sixteen feet.
The proposed operations for the en-
suing year are to continue tho con-
struction Of the dykes so as 20 maui
tain the depths and to enlarge the chan
nels by dredging whenever the dy Ike
construction has been sufficiently ad-
yarced.

BUREAU OF CREDITS.

This institution was organized III tn
summer Of 1884 The leading Objec. OF
the association was to aid in the pro-
lection aud advancement Of legltlmate
business, and was mindful alike Of the
interests Of the larger and smaller
dealer, whether buyer or seller. Be
ginning under circumstances Of much
disadvantage it has gradually worked
its way to a condition very nearly ap-
pro,ching completeness, and the assocll'
ton now seems well established in the
regard and confidence of its mauy
patrons. The facilities Of the assOcia-
ton are keeping pace with the con-
stantly enlarging range OF Its CORE
spondence, which now covers a large
section of the South, with the city OF
Richmond as a centre, and from being a..
the start an occasional help, it has be-
come business necessity to very many
of the most thorough businessmen Of
Richmond. The Bureau has sub.
scribers in Danville, Lynchburg, Nor
folk, and Petersburg. During this
month branch Office will probably be
established in Lynchburg. The favor
able results Of the past fully justify the
Bureau in entering with new life and
animation upon the duties of the open
ing year. Some idea may be formed Of
the large amount of business transacted
when we state that $4,000 inquiries
were answered during the past year

officers of the Bureau; &. A. Oatlin,

THE RICHMoND DISPATCH. SATURDAY. JANUARY l. 1887.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE JAMES.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE JAMES.
The funds for the improvement OF
James river are furnished partly by tho
United States Government and partly
by the city Of Richmond, Colonel Will
liam P. Craighill, corps Of engineers,
United States army, having charge. Mr..
G. p. u. BuTgwyn is the assistant en-
gincer in local charge. Captain Thomas
Cunningham, ST., is the superintendent
of the city. The aim Of the United
States engineers is to obtain twenty-five
feet at low tide from Richmond to the
sea.
Owing to the failure of the river-aud-
hsrbor bill to become law in 1885, but
little work was done on the river ia the
early part Of 1886, on account of the
necessary funds not being available
for carrying on the work.
There occurred during the latter part
Of 1885 and early part Of 1856 series
Of freshets and ice.gorges which were
beyond any previous precedent in their
frequency and height, and which thor
uughly tested the improvement Of the
river, both as to the stability Of the jet
ties and dykes and permanencc Of the
depth Of the channel.
